This does look fantastic. I might try to make a variation on it!

minami @sakaimii.bsky.social · 1d

It’s good! I’m biased, but even if I weren’t translating this I would totally be into the series. If you like a3, i7, etc, I totally think you’d love this

Every person who has followed me because of shared interest in the gacha games I’ve enjoyed—read Phantom Busters. It’s got the same sauce (and without the microtransactions, too!)

You won’t regret it!

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

It's real. It's possible. It happened to me last month...

Kunyomi name was onyomi.

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand

I'll go first: Six page commercial lease.

The butler that replaced him, Kubo, was a high energy puppy type who told he thinks he has served me before (which probably isn’t true because I would’ve remembered him), and when I asked him when he saved himself by laughing and being like, “well, isn’t this your residence??”

minami @sakaimii.bsky.social · 2d

We didn’t order pet play?????

When it was time for him to switch with another butler he made this big sigh and said “I wanted to see you off…but I suppose distance makes the heart grow fonder. Do come back when you can. I will be waiting for you at the front like a loyal dog.”

Help

He had a very melodic laugh, and once came over to tend to us even though we didn’t ring for him saying, “The bell in my heart rang.”

He also kept going, “You can call on me anytime and I will come over. In fact, I’ll come over even if you don’t ring ☺️”

And when he was pouring our water he mimicked the sound of water coming out of the pitcher, held the pitcher to his ear and was like “How odd. It seems we’re out of sync.”

We went to Butlers today and, friends, it was another banger.

Today’s main butler was Kumagawa, a serious-looking bespectacled steward who actually a huge jokester! He spoke in puns LOL

The actual ghosts are pretty scare if you’re a baby (I am a baby) so I would watch out for that, but it’s so good…

The pest thing is a potentially good one…noting that down

minami @sakaimii.bsky.social · 3d

*to clarify, by house I mean “apartment complex”, and by outside I mean “away from”. So like, in town or the neighborhood or whatever

minami @sakaimii.bsky.social · 3d

You know, this worked out pretty well last time so let’s give it a shot again:

You’ve agreed to look after a vampire for a month. What mundane part of your day would the vampire be oddly helpful with? Preferably something outside of the house.

The world has moved on from #GlassHeart #jdrama, but #MachidaKeita as Takaoka Sho still lives rent free in my mind and he has no intention of leaving. 🫠

Picture of Takaoka Sho playing guitar, smiling and threatening my sanity while showing his naked shoulder.

Picture of Takaoka Sho looking beautiful and desperate

I feel like zeztz suffers from the opposite problem of geats where things are happening TOO fast with not enough information and time given to you to be invested

minami @sakaimii.bsky.social · 4d

Sure the twist about Nem is big, but it means nothing if we never had enough base information about her confirmed beforehand. The story keeps twisting information without properly establishing it, and it's very confusing and frustrating to watch.
